Clojure repl won't show previous command with up arrow

Question

Hello,
I installed the latest 1.11.0 clojure package on arch linux.
When I start the default repl with 'clojure', after I type any command, if I try to press the up arrow to see my previous command I get gibberish such as '^[[A' instead. I tried this multiple times and it's like that every time. Additionally I don't have such issues with lein repl, but I like to use the clojure default repl sometimes as it doesn't require a project.clj to run simple scripts. If this is a package problem, can someone please fix it? Thanks.

clojure is the Clojure CLI tool. clj is a companion wrapper for it that adds rlwrap support for interactive editing, so try that instead.
